"Your Gaze" is one of the few novel works in China that focuses on the glasses design industry, taking Shenzhen Henggang, the "capital of glasses" that produces 70% of the world's glasses, as the realistic background, writing the life, emotions and innovation of the younger generation of designers, which not only reflects the entrepreneurial and innovative spirit of the young generation, but also reflects the deep cultural heritage and continuous innovation vitality of Guangzhou, Shenzhen and other cities in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
At the event site, the author Wang William told the creation story of the book "Your Gaze" in combination with the reading experience, "When I was a child reading "Johann Christopher" written by the French writer Romain Roland, I have always remembered a sentence in the book: 'The sound of the river rises from the backyard', which aroused my curiosity: What kind of sound is the sound of the mighty river? ”

It wasn't until he went to sun yat-sen university to study, and there was a tide of the Pearl River in front of the school, that he had a profound understanding of the "mighty sound of the river". "The night is quiet, and when I walk along the Pearl River alone, there are countless moods surging in my heart." In The eyes of Wang William, Guangzhou has a wonderful and thick history, like a river flowing and rushing, and after stopping, you can hear endless echoes. As he says on the title page of Your Gaze: "When we stop indulging in what we see, the eyes of the world come upon us." ”
"The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is a place where the eyes of the world come together, and I am fortunate to be in such a cultural space. I want to constantly draw the world's attention into the text, and at the same time focus the reader's eyes on my work. William Wang said.

Excerpt from William Wang's "Your Gaze"
The gaze of the world
When we no longer indulge in what we see
The eyes of the world are on the other hand
Times need a pair of big glasses
Only then can we see the wild future
peace
The migration is long enough
Bring time together into spaces
Hold on to a fragile heart
This peace of mind is my hometown
But the future has come, is this peace of mind?
mist
We've been trying to see more clearly
But many times, we can't see clearly
There are also moments that we don't want to see clearly
Because behind the mist lurks the abyss
Worldly residence
Live down because the earth is stable
Stay down, even if the water is shaking
Live down, life travels through time by reproduction
Stay down and the space is open to all life
